Lower Body Workout

Back Squat
45lbs x 10
135 x 3
185 x 1
205 x 1
205 x 1
215 x 1
225 - Failed
(Forgot to do a burn-out set)

Wow, I've been away for TOO LONG! 205lbs felt heavy! Moved up to 215 and got it. Dumped 225lbs, couldn't stand it up (my PR is 260lbs). I'm confident that within a month I'll be back up to where I was before.

For my front squat/Romanian Deadlift superset, I was supposed to do 135lbs/145lbs, and do 12-9-6 reps. I knew that I wouldn't be able to do 135lbs on the front squat for 12 reps, not on my first day back anyways. So I used 115lbs for the front squats, and 135lbs for the RDLs. Even with that, my supersets looked like this:

9/9
6/6
4/4

My quads literally locked up after the front squats. Killer!! Loved it though, so great being back training legs again. I can 100% see how this programming will help me build some serious muscle.

After this, I walked SLOWLY (so my legs would stop cramping up) to the pull-up bar, and did three sets of 10 of laces to bar.

Immediately post-workout I had a shake with:
40g whey protein
25g glutamine
7g creatine
3 tablespoons of orange gatorade powder

Last night I slept a full 10 hours, and had another perfect day of just meats and veggies. I can't wait for Friday's workout!
